Emplacement parfait mais hôtel vieillissant et plutôt cher
Pros:

L’emplacement privilégié
Le petit déjeuner
Bonne literie

Cons:

L’hôtel est vieillot et nécessiterait un rafraîchissement. Nous avons eu plusieurs problèmes électriques dans la chambre (TV qui s’allume seule pendant la nuit, plombs qui sautent)
Prix élevés pour le niveau de qualité

Centrally located hotel with large, comfortable rooms.
Pros:

I stayed at the Radisson Gautrain for a total of four nights in mid-March. It was centrally located, just a few minutes walk (or use the complimentary shuttle bus at night) to the Sandton Centre, which has great shopping and restaurants. The rooms were clean, comfortable and spacious. The staff were super-friendly, and stored some of my luggage while I went to Kruger National Park. The breakfast buffet was great, with a variety of fresh fruit, pastries, yogurt, cereal and hot dishes, while you could order freshly made eggs and omelettes. The 10th-floor gym is well-equipped with great views while you workout.

Cons:

While the surrounding area is safe during daytime, it can be a little sketchy at night. The hotel recommends that you don't walk to the Sandton Center afterwork, but instead supplies a courtesy on-demand shuttle bus. This was great, because when we had finished dinner, we could text the driver and he would pick us up in a matter of minutes and return us to the hotel.

É a segunda vez que lá fico e não me surpreendeu: confortável mas mão serviço.
Pros:

Bom alojamento. Boas instalações. Boa limpeza. Excelente localização.

Cons:

Pessimo serviço. Colaboradores não preparados para o serviço de hotelaria. A Recepção é a única área de excelência.

Quarto confortável, mas faltou água no quarto e check-in/transfer para shopping precisa melhorar
Pros:

Quarto é muito confortável, com estrutura boa. Nos deram um upgrade por ser lua de mel de andar.

Cons:

Check-in poderia ser melhor, tivemos que esperar chegando as 14h. O transfer para o shopping foi mal informado, não achamos o ponto de encontro de volta e tivemos que voltar de Uber. Faltou mais água nos quartos, passamos sede.

Comfortable and convenient for the Gautrain.
Pros:

Location for the Gautrain was excellent as well as being very central. Room was very comfortable and clean. The gym was well equipped. Staff were friendly and parking was suitable.

Cons:

We did not use the restaurant as it had no ambiance or character. The bar was taped off for the three nights we were there so we could not use that either.
